National Federation Research Strategy 2008-2013
As service providers the National Federation accepts that for services to be person centred we have to change the way we provide services by being more creative. We are now starting to look at the direction we need to be taking so we can meet the needs of those who use our services. One of the ways that we provide the service people need is to know exactly what those needs are and that can only be done through high quality research into areas where more information is needed. So we have developed a research strategy after talking with all our member organisations. A copy of our easy-to-read Research Strategy is available
